Bug Description

We're been running into an issue that so far seems to be limited to our Lenovo 11e laptops and Ubuntu 17.10.
On first boot, the touchpad and keyboard will work sporadically with random keys occasionally being registered as being pressed. After some time, both the touchpad and keyboard completely stop functioning. We've replicated the issue on other 11e laptops to ensure it wasn't a hardware problem.

Touchpad and keyboard both work perfectly on Ubuntu 16.04.3

dmesg is showing a bunch of the following:

psmouse serio1: Touchpad at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost synchronization, throwing 4 bytes away.
psmouse serio1: resync failed, issuing reconnect request
psmouse serio1: synaptics: unable to initialize device

What we expect to happen:
Touchpad and Keyboard will allow user input

What happened instead:
Touchpad and Keyboard register random input or don't function at all.

This bug is missing log files that will aid in diagnosing the problem. While running an Ubuntu kernel (not a mainline or third-party kernel) please enter the following command in a terminal window:

apport-collect 1739102

and then change the status of the bug to 'Confirmed'.

If, due to the nature of the issue you have encountered, you are unable to run this command, please add a comment stating that fact and change the bug status to 'Confirmed'.

Did this issue start happening after an update/upgrade? Was there a prior kernel version where you were not having this particular problem?

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v4.15 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

The issue occurs from a clean install of 17.10 and a currently updated 17.10.
Kernel 4.12 and back seem to work without issue, so I'm guessing it's related to the 4.13 kernel.

I found an almost identical bug report over on Red Hat:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1519041

I'll test the mainline kernel and report back.

You need to do a kernel bisection then.

Please find the first bad v4.13-rc kernel release from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/

Sorry for the delay.
The input issues first crop up in 4.13-rc1. I also noticed that the latest 4.16-rc2 doesn't seem to be affected by the issue.
